Police were called about 9:15 p.m. to a home where a boyfriend and girlfriend had gotten into an argument. The man had allegedly battered the woman and fired a shot into a couch. The woman got out and called 911. Officers ordered him out using loudspeakers, but the man refused. Filipe Pereira came out, approached the officers, and reached into his right rear pocket where there was a firearm, and six officers shot and killed him. A gun was reportedly found in Pereira's back pocket.
